新一代天气雷达负仰角探测能力分析

摘要

由于地球曲率的影响,当CINRAD.SA新一代天气雷达使用目前最低仰角同定为0.5°的模式探测时,探测肓区较大,对低层降水回波的探测能力严重不足.在实地展开试验的基础上,推导了负仰角探测时雷达最低探测高度计算公式,计算出仰角为0.5°、0°、-0.3°、-0.5°时不同探测距离上的雷达最低探测高度,对比分析不同仰角观测模式的主要雷达产品特点,探讨新一代天气雷达使用负仰角观测模式的局限性,提出了新一代天气雷达使用负仰角观测的建议.%Due to the influence of the curve Earth, the fixed detection mode of the CINRAD/SA weather radar uses the minimum elevation angle of 0. 5 °, so the blind area is relatively big, and the detection capability for low-level precipitation echoes is limited. On the basis of experiments, the calculation formulas of the minimum height applicable when CINRAD/SA detects with positive and negative elevation angles are devised. Then the minimum detecting heights of CINRAD/SA at different distances with different elevation angles (0.5°, 0°, -0.3°, -0.5°) are calculated. Through analyzing characteristics of radar products detected under different elevation angles, some suggestions on CINRAD/SA about using negative elevation angles are presented.
